First of all, I want to apologize in case I make mistakes - English is not mymother tongue.

I really like your homepage. After reading it, no rational man or woman canstill believe in god... Unfortunately, many people are very irrational inmatters of religion and belief. But I really adore and appreciate your effort.We should try anything we can to bring reason to those religious minds.

I see that somehow you are associated with the homepage "godisimaginary". Iwanted to write the owner of that website, too, but as far as I have seen,there's no contact information. So I'd ask you to send up my mail to the ownerof "godisimaginary", if you know that person. Or maybe you are the owner of bothwebsites?

Anyway, I want to tell you another argument for the non-existence of god thatyou have not mentioned. Maybe you can add it to your lists onwhywontgodhealamputees and godisimaginary.

Believers always say things like "the universe and our planet and life on earthlook so deliberately designed and intelligenty created..."But if we actually think about it, this is not true at all: If we accept theevolutional theory (as many believers in Europe do, but add that God was theplanner of evolution), we have to ask: Why should god have planned thedevelopment of life in such a complicated way? For millions of years, there wasno life on earth. Then there was a very, very long time where only bacterias andprotozoans lived. Then, they slowly developed into fishes and amphibia and birdsand then mammals, included humans. Why should God have done this?? Couldn't hejust put the animals and plants and humans on earth the way he wanted them? Whydevelop life in such a complex and long process, when he could just havedeveloped the species within a few moments just like he wanted them to be? Whywas evolution necessary at all? Why should god have wanted the earth to bewithout live for millions of years? And only inhabited by bacteria for othermillions of years? Why did so many animal species that lived in former timesbecome extinct then? Why the hell should god create species and then let themdie out?? There is absolutely no reason why God should have wanted this.Why are the bodies of animals and humans so fragile? So prone to malfunctionsand illnesses? Why do we have body parts we don't need (like the appendix or therudimental tail some people have)? Many of our organs don't work well because they were adapted to the ape's posture for such a long time and are not yetfully adapted to human's upright walking (for scientific details see Dawkins'books about evolution). If god was the planner of evolution, shouldn't he haveplanned it in a better way, with the organs developing simultaneously to theupright walking? Why are there so many parts in human and animal bodies thatclearly attest a complicated evolutionary background - with long phases whereseveral body parts didn't work properly at all and caused a lot of problems, andtherefore many animal species and also branches of the human species had to dieout? Why should god "design" a process with so many errors and regresses??And, talking about the universe: What seems so intelligently designed about auniverse where most of the planets are uninhabitable? Why should god havedesigned so many planets where life is not possible? Where there cannot beintelligent species to discover and worship him? Why should god have designed auniverse where many planets and asteroides fly erratically through the space andcollide with each other and destroy each other?? Even included the possibilitythat the earth could be hitten by such a asteroid and all of gods cleverlydesigned species could be destroyed? There are absolutely no plausible answersto all these questions. Actually, the world and the universe seem not at allintelligently designed. They seem quite random and with lots of errors caused bynature, that cannot be explained as long as we assume a intelligent creator.

Again, if we assume there is a god, there are lots of problems, curiosities andinconsistencies. Lots of phenomena that cannot be explained properly. But if weassume that god doesn't exist, there are no problems and curiosities at all.It's all logical and explainable. Errors and steps backwards are fullyexpectable in a natural process, as they are not with an intelligent creator.And the parts of earth and life that work quite perfectly can be adequatelyexplained with the process of evolution.

Maybe you can use that argument for the websites. These were only the problems Iread about or thought about by myself. I'm sure you can find further examplesfor the unperfection and randomness of the world and the universe, also readingscientific literature about the topic.

Kind regards,[name removed]
